Okay, I'm new to this real tractor stuff. Just got a B2710 with FEL and 60" rotary cutter. What I'm thinking about now is an auger with which I can plant trees and fence posts. I need one with a replaceable bit. I'm looking for recommendations as to what kind--where to get!

I just finished augering over 150 fence post holes with my 7800. I bought a Speeco Ager and bit from TSC and it did a great job in our soil; gravely sand with a lot of roots. It went through the toughest roots and soil easily.
Paid $374 for the Digger, and $98 for a 9" Auger. The auger has replaceable cuting tips.
Also check out Worksaver/Farmstar. They also have hydraulic diggers that mount on your FEL, but for a considerable cost premium. If your soil is sandy, or gravely sand, a 3pt digger will work fine. Many have had trouble using 3pt augers in hard clay. I didn't run into anything I couldn't drill through.
I would recommend a hydraulic side link if you go with the 3-pt type digger. It was a huge help in plumbing the auger on uneven ground. ....
